Carpet shelling or carpet bombing with kilotons of TNT beg to differ.

> So while you may see videos of drones taking out tanks, they are often tanks that have already been killed and drones come in on an immobile target, etc.

Those tanks are immobilized by other drones or mines.

> You would also think that Ukraine is using more drones than Russia - based on the videos.

Yep, Ukraine uses more drones than RF in both absolute and relative terms, because Ukraine uses 10x less artillery shells.

If Ukraine will win war with Russia, it will mean that Ukraine will take their place as mightiest country in the world. EU will be a good buffer for us.

Supersonic missiles are very vulnerable to a debris in the sky. Instead of catching of a missile, a drone can be blown up in advance on predicted trajectory of the supersonic missile.

Exactly. "Foo" is democratic when democratic or non-democratic country does it in a democratic way.

> In Italy the current defence minister is personally earning considerable amount of money by sending weapons to Ukraine, because he's also an owner and manager of companies that make said weapons.

FUD is the reason why Russian liars are banned from EU.

When single bug may cost millions of dollars, then Rust is cheaper and faster than Go. Google manager is not a liar.

It's possible to write unsafe and slow code in Rust.

Many games are written in Rust already, but they are not AAA games. Example: https://bfnightly.bracketproductions.com/chapter_0.html

Unsafe Rust is not harder or safer than C/C++. If you can uphold all safety invariants for C/C++ code (OMG!), then it will be easier to do same thing for unsafe Rust, because Rust has better ergonomic.

I.e. don't throw bad apples into bin, because they will rot deeper, but keep them closer to healthy apples with hope that healthy apples will heal bad ones.

Nice idea, I like it too.

You can use unsafe code and pointers if you really want, but code will be unsafe, like C or C++.

Exercising in hot weather requires drinking electrolyte water to avoid hyponatremia. Drinking large amounts of soft or distilled water (around 6 liters) can lead to death.

Idiomatic quick-protobuf is much faster than non-idiomatic rust-protobuf: https://github.com/tafia/quick-protobuf/tree/master/perftest
